In July 1650, Oliver Cromwell led a powerful force across the Scottish border to remove the problem. For six weeks Cromwell waged a frustrating campaign against a Scots enemy that refused to meet him in battle. By the beginning of September Cromwell’s army, poorly supplied, exhausted and ravaged by sickness, was apparently trapped at Dunbar by a powerful Scots army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 3 September he won his greatest military victory just outside the town, but in this book Stuart Reid suggests that his triumph may in fact have begun as a breakout attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57296552558936,"sku":"9781841767741","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781841767741.jpg?v=1778829376","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dunbar-1650","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
